Revealing higher-order light and matter energy exchanges using quantum trajectories in ultrastrong coupling

Fabrizio Minganti

The dynamics of open quantum systems is often modeled using master equations, which describe the expected outcome of an experiment (i.e., the average over many realizations of the same dynamics). Quantum trajectories, instead, model the outcome of ideal si ...
